   My not so humble opinion on that is - don't do that. Use portable tools
(portable between languages, I mean in this case). SQL is quite a portable
tool; if your project eventually grows up to include a number of developers
they would want to use different languages for different tasks, for
example, Java to create reports and PHP for quick-and-dirty backoffice; in
this case having a well thought out SQL schema is a big advantage.
